Unfortunately you're wrong. Terrible practiceI personally don't agree that it's a waste of time & money? Okay, Hardiebacker not waterproof but its moisture resistant not like plasterboard which soaks up moisture like a sponge & after time so does the moisture resistant plasterboard. Also, I've stated on more than one occasion I trust Hardiebacker & this is a forum isn't it

On a floor?
On what am I wrong on that hardiebacker moisture resistant or plasterboard soaks up water or over time moisture resistant plasterboard breaks down & why is it a terrible practice

A tad harsh maybe. Screwing only of hardie and tanking joints alone certainly isn't best practice. It's invalidating the hardie warranty and wasting money on wpcI think "terrible practise" is a bit harsh.
Just that over time, we've found more effective, fully waterproof alternatives.
Taping and sealing the joints on cement board is useless really as they soak up any water and pass it through.
Sure, they don't break down and tiles and stone stay stuck (usually), but I've seen rotten studwork and boards and joists - all thanks to Hardibacker.

I'd have called it contraryI'm just trying to be all nice and fluffy
I apologize 3 fall if I came across like that I certainly didn't want to do. I may have put too much faith in Hardiebacker, but after reading some of the later messages I now have to reconsider my using of it
